Hello... Seeking in-ceiling speakers. My attic has blown in insulation, do these speakers come with a sheild to keep the insulation material out of th

The have a steel cone that prevents the insulation from getting in the speaker. I just moved all the insulation from around the speaker. I've been told that you can place a cardboard box over the back of the speaker which keeps out the insulation, but it will enhance the bass is the music.

The instructions say you should move the blown in insulation and lay a piece of rolled insulation over the back of the speaker

No they don't come with a shield. I also have blown in insulation so I removed it around the speakers and put some rolled insulation in so it wouldn't get into the speaker

They're good speakers. They don't have any bass. For an in-wall/ceiling speaker, I live them. But I also have other speakers that fill out the sound spectrum.

Speakers are totally awesome. I have 2 in my basement and they rock out. I am very pleased with these speakers.

Well... you CAN install them outside, they are not however waterproof nor outdoor rated from what I have seen. The wire connections would most likely develop corrosion over time, and eventually compromise the quality. I can say that these speakers are amazing, and I cannot fathom how that are at the price point they are. I would say that if you are looking at an area under an over hang, where they would not be in direct contact with the elements that you could seal them fairly well to extend their life... and they're cheap enough that it wouldn't break the bank to replace them.

No. The tweeters and drivers are specifically designed to disperse from the ceiling. Also, I would reccomend a rectangular in wall speaker from a different manufacturer such as speakercraft or b&w; they have been making these types of speakers way longer than Bose.

Idon't know too much about ceiling tiles but Pyle speakers worked fine in all of mine. They have graduation screws so you can use them in different tile thickness. Tough exterior weather proof speakers get rust pretty easy and they lol ugly

Doesn't matter Thomas. These speakers are Garbage. I own Swift Installs A/V in Memphis. These are the absolute worst ceiling speakers I've ever purchased. If you want a good value 8" speaker. Check out Dayton Audio speakers from Parts Express. They also sell here on Amazon. For a really good one... find you an Episode Speaker dealer in your area. Hope this helps

Hello, What head were you using when the speakers blew? I'm interested as I just bought the 2x10 and the 1x15. From what I understand seismic audio has replacement speakers for sale. If you take off the metal mesh type thing in the front the speakers should be able to come out after unscrewing them. I believe you can replace the speakers with any bass cabinet replacement speaker, but I would replace them with the same ohm speaker. From what I have read while researching bass cabinets is that eminence is the speaker of choice to replace blown speakers with. Just make sure you get one that's made for this purpose. A quick google search should come up with some results. Good luck! Hello, What head were you using when the speakers blew? I'm interested as I just bought the 2x10 and the 1x15.

No. These are in-wall or in ceiling speakers and are not suitable for outdoor use.

Don't know but have speakers that I would sell to you. I do not like the quality of sound from these speakers. Sounds like the sound is coming out of a barrel.

you can buy baffles to put in for the speakers however most Polk speakers they do not recommend them. I what a pair of these in my living room and my master bedroom is directly above it and I never hear them. I have another pair in my kitchen that we use for music and my children's bedrooms are above that and we never hear them either. The rooms above in these cases also have carpet it may be different if you had hardwoods.

I haven't figured that one out yet, my speakers are new and I mounted mine under the eaves of my patio to keep them out of the weather. Supposedly they hold up well but I wouldn't recommend putting them directly in the path of bad weather and rain.

I believe it states they they can be mounted in an attic. I was NOT happy about the quality control of the product. I had to steal parts from the second one, just to make a complete one.... and it didn't work. Make sure you have no obstructions

I'm not familiar with the speakers you mentioned, but I'm not sure if I would suggest these speakers for indoor use just based on asthetics. They are constructed of plastic and more suited for an outdoor application. They do have good sound quality outdoors, I never used them indoors.

I made a box for mine--see details in my review 2/9/14. I don't think it affects sound much, and Polk claims the speakers have an "infinite baffle" design. If you make a box, you might want to put a layer of insulation on the inside to cover the drywall. I've noticed the drywall around the speaker gets cold during winter.

Yes they come with mounting brackets you screw into the ceiling then mount the speaker.
